If you are looking for a precious gift or wanting to buy blings that have a holiday appeal, colorful gemstones like rubies, rubellites, tourmalines, sapphires paired with white diamonds would be pretty as a picture. Snowy-Christmas and jewels, which capture the spirit of the holiday through its design, can add a lot of cheer to the festivities when fairy lights, shiny streamers, sparkly baubles abound. And that’s when you need something special and whimsical to shine in.

Ravishing Mozambican rubies, bright red spinels, pink opals and tourmalines, rich red garnets and blushing rose-pink rhodolites add glamour to the jewels. You just can’t go wrong with attention-grabbing jewels in a pop of red with motifs inspired by wintry plum trees, sparkling hearts, Camélia blossoms, tiaras, ballet movements, flowers and gardens.
